Two men, including a member of Iran’s special foreign actions unit known as the Quds Force, were charged in New York federal court with conspiring to kill the Saudi diplomat, Adel Al-Jubeir.

Justice Department officials say the men tried to hire a purported

member of a Mexican drug cartel to carry out the assassination with a bomb attack while AlJubeir dined at his favorite restaurant.

“The idea that they would attempt to go to a Mexican drug cartel to solicit murder-for-hire to kill the Saudi ambassador, nobody could make that up, right?”

COVINGTON — Fire officials are calling a house fire that crews battled Sunday night on McMaken Road near Covington a complete loss. The cause remains under investigation.

Crews from Covington, Bradford and Pleasant Hill responded and fought the flames billowing out of the first- and secondstory windows at 7100 McMaken Road. The home was fully engulfed by the time crews re-

sponded.

A man who lived at the residence was transported to the Upper Valley Medical Center in Troy for smoke inhalation and burns, but fire officials are not releasing his name. He was expected to make a full recovery.

The man was reportedly rescued and pulled to safety by his son prior to the arrival of firefighters and medics.

Sex offenders Continued from page 1 nudity-oriented material or performance in unrelated cases, will spend the next five years in prison.

He also will spend another 25 years registering as a tier II sex offender following his release from prison in the county where he resides, works or receives an education.

Schutte pleaded no contest and was found guilty of his charges Aug. 22 at a change of plea hearing.

Authorities say Schutte took photographs of a 7year-old girl he once lived near in Piqua last May with a cell phone and later sent the photographs to his personal email address.

The other felony sex charge stems from Schutte touching a 4-yearold girl at a Piqua residence in April. Police began investigating the allegation after the victim told her mother about Schutte touching her in her groin area.

Schutte faced the maximum sentence of up to 13 years in prison.

Meanwhile, a Troy sex offender originally charged with two counts of rape, but was later convicted on the amended charges of attempted rape received a severe penalty of 12 years in prison in a case that involved an 8year-old girl.

Ernest A. Crabtree, 48, who pleaded guilty Aug. 23 to the crime, also was labeled a tier III sex offender, which requires him to routinely and annually register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Police records show that Crabtree committed the offenses between March 1

and April 6.

The victim in the case, along with her mother and father, spoke out at the hearing.

“You made me feel dirty,” the victim said.

“You should go where all of the bad guys go and never get let out.”

He faced the maximum penalty of 16 years in prison, but his sentence was jointly recommended by the prosecution and his defense counsel.

Lastly, there was a female sex offender who authorities said had inappropriate contact with a 14-year-old victim in January.

Courtney L. Sanders, 19, of Troy, was sentenced to five years of probation for her Aug. 16 conviction of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor.

“I know I messed up,” Sanders said in court. “I want to say I am sorry. I learned my lesson.”

She faced up to 18 months in prison for the conviction.

Sanders also was labeled a tier II sex offender, which requires her to register as such on an annual basis for the next 25 years.

In all three cases, each felon was told they are to have no contact with the victims in each of their cases or their families.

Services will be held at a later date.

He is survived by his wife, Joyce Elaine Schimmel Burt of the home; sons, Gerald R. Burt Jr., Keith Burt and James Burt; daughters, Colleen Place and Helen Maxwell; brothers, Clarence Jr., William, Robert and Larry Burt; 12 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren.

Event sets record FOR THE DAILY CALL PIQUA — Nearly 350 people participated Saturday in the 7th Annual Chris Cianciolo/Edison 5K for Cancer, a recordsetting number that helped to raise more than $5,000 for the Upper Valley Medical Center Cancer Care Center and for an area family affected by the disease.

A beautiful weekend with temperatures in the upper 60s by race time and a bright sunny sky helped to bolster the day’s attendance as the runners followed the five-kilometer (slightly over threemiles) course along the back end of Edison’s treelined campus.

“This race keeps getting better and better every year,” said Sean Ford, Edison’s activities coordinator. “We started seven years ago and only had around 90 participants for the first run.

Being able to build on that year after year until we’re now at well over 300 says a lot about our community and everyone here at Edison who helps to make this great event happen.”

The 2010 race raised approximately $3,000 and had more than 200 participants.

The overall winner for this year’s race was Jason Tyler of Cincinnati. The top finisher in the women’s group Carolyn Iddings. The race also featured a one mile fun run for kids in addition to the main event.

Students and faculty from Edison’s recently accredited Physical Therapy Assistant program were on hand to help runners stretch and warm up prior to the race and worked to help get the nearly 350 participants registered and tallied at the finish line.

able to raise more than $5,000 to help a local family with the financial burden of this disease really reflects well on our community,” Ford said. “Hopefully this race will continue to grow every year and we can bring more awareness to this disease and help even more area families in need.”

This year’s recipient is native Scott Sidney Arnold. Scott was diagnosed with lung cancer in April 2011 and is undergoing aggressive treatment. Arnold and his wife Chris have four children and 10 grandchildren with one on the way. The money raised from this race will help the Arnold family with some of the expenses incurred from this disease.

The race is held in memory of Chris Cianciolo, Ford’s aunt, who lost her 15-year battle with cancer in 2005.

Guest Column

Tax hike will destroy job creation Private-sector job creators of all sizes are being pummeled by Washington. They’ve been hurt by a government that offers short-term gimmicks rather than fundamental reforms. They’ve been demoralized by a government that creates uncertainty instead of confidence. And now, adding to a long list of job-destroying policies, President Obama has proposed a tax hike on job creators. With millions of Americans out of work — including thousands of Ohioans — raising taxes on the very people we need to grow our economy and put our country back to work is the wrong thing to do.

As a former small businessman, my experience has taught me that raising taxes on families and small businesses will only hurt job creation. We need to be encouraging the private-sector to grow; raising their taxes will only discourage job creation, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

An estimated 750,000 small businesses would be JOHN BOEHNER hit by President Obama’s District Congressman 8th $1.5 trillion tax hike. Small business accounted for 65 percent, or 9.8 million of the 15 million new jobs created between 1993 and 2009. So, if those small businesses face a higher tax burden, their ability to hire more workers will be limited and the entire economy will suffer.

The president claims tax hikes are necessary to address our debt crisis and kick-start our economy. But what he has failed to explain to the American people is that job creators’ tax rates would have to rise to impossible levels to even come close to paying off the deficit.

His tax hikes would raise revenue by approximately $855 billion — about 6.6 percent of the $12.8 trillion in debt that Democratic policies will add over the next 10 years.

Tax hikes on small businesses are not the answer to our debt crisis – and economists and fiscal watchdogs alike agree. Glenn Hubbard, dean of the Columbia Business School, said, “The president’s advocacy for higher marginal tax rates on the well-to-do dampens both job creation and asset prices.” Peter Morici, a University of Maryland economist, stated that “The taxes (President Obama) wants — jacking up rates on high income individuals — would discourage hiring by many smaller businesses like machine shops and restaurants, whose owners already face marginal rates near 60 percent, counting state taxes.” Even President Obama at one point agreed — in 2009 he said “the last thing you want to do is raise taxes in the middle of a recession because that would just suck up — take more demand out of the economy and put business further in a hole.”

House Republicans have taken a different approach and proposed a Plan for America’s Job Creators focused on removing government barriers to private-sector job creation. Our plan includes stopping out-of-control spending, eliminating excessive government regulations, and fixing our tax code for families and small businesses — all without raising taxes.

Under our plan, the House has already passed more than a dozen bills, though many remain stuck or delayed in the Democrat-led Senate. Job creation is our top priority and will continue to be until our economy gets back on track. We don’t need higher taxes; we need a growing economy and more private-sector jobs. I encourage you to learn more about our Plan for America’s Job Creators at Jobs.GOP.Gov.

To the Editor: On Sept. 24 Mainstreet Piqua hosted its annual Moonlight Stride and Ride and Dancing in the Moonlight events. For the Stride and Ride, more than 80 people took the opportunity to be on the PATH after dark and enjoyed a luminary-lit ride along the River’s Edge portion of the PATH. This event would not have been possible without the help of many wonderful volunteers. On behalf of Mainstreet Piqua, I would like to thank Artie Parker and his entire family who placed the luminaries along the PATH. Some years ago the Parker family manufactured a special trailer specifically for transporting luminaries this event and we are truly appreciative of his efforts.

We would also like to thank Joe Teach, Jim and Sandy Kerns, Annette and Gregg Miller for lighting the 233 luminaries along the PATH. We also wish to acknowledge the efforts of the city of Piqua Street Department employees who cleaned the PATH and got it ready for the Stride and Ride event.

We would also like to extend our thanks to Edison Community College for sponsoring the event and for the dedicated work of our committee members Jim Hemmert, Cindy Dobo, Dee WillsGastineau, Gary Anderson and Mary Teach.

The music for the Dancing in the Moonlight event was provided by Duane Bachman and Melinda Sillman and we sincerely thank them for their efforts to make this such a great event. Thanks also goes to the many folks who brought their cars downtown for the event.

Event’s like these are unique to the Piqua community and we thank everyone for coming out and enjoying them and most of all we thank our volunteers and supporters — without whom none of these things would happen.

Famed pianist Roger Williams dies at 87 LOS ANGELES (AP) Roger Williams, the virtuoso pianist who topped the Billboard pop chart in the 1950s and played for nine U.S. presidents during a long career, died Saturday.

He was 87.

Williams died at his home in Los Angeles of complications from pancreatic cancer, according to his former publicist, Rob Wilcox.

Known as an electrifying stage performer and an adept improviser, Williams effortlessly switched between musical styles.

“Roger was one of the greatest pianists in the world and could play anything to classical music to jazz. He was one of the greatest personalities I’ve ever known,” said Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, a longtime friend of Williams and himself a musician. “He could touch any audience, from teenagers to senior citizens.”

Williams’ 1955 hit “Autumn Leaves” was the only piano instrumental to reach number one on the Billboard pop charts.

It remains the best-selling piano record of all time, with more than 2 million sold.

Nicknamed the “pianist to the presidents,” Williams played for every commander in chief from Harry Truman to George H.W. Bush. His last trip to the White House was in 2008, when he performed at a luncheon for thenfirst lady Laura Bush.

Williams was good friends with Jimmy Carter, with whom he shared a birthday. When the two men turned 80, Williams played a 12-hour marathon at the Jimmy Carter Library and Museum in Atlanta, with the former president in attendance.

Born Louis Wertz in Nebraska, Williams started playing piano at age 3. By age 9 he was prolific with several instruments and could play anything by ear.

“I had a piano teacher growing up who would never play a song for me, she would make me play it from sheet music so I could learn to read music,” Williams said, according to biographical informa-

tion provided by Wilcox.

As a teenager, he was given his own 15-minute radio show on KRNT-AM, which was broadcast live from a Des Moines, Iowa, department store. Later he hosted a program on WHO-AM, where he first met the station’s young sports announcer, Ronald “Dutch” Reagan. The two men started a friendship which lasted over 60 years.

Nancy Reagan said that when the two men met in Iowa all those years ago, “neither could have guessed that their careers would take them both to the White House someday.”

The former first lady noted Saturday that in recent years Williams performed several times at the Reagan Library, including for a concert celethe late brating president’s 100th birthday.

“Roger was a great pianist, a great American, and a great friend. I am saddened by his death, and my sympathy and prayers go out to his family,” Nancy Reagan said in a statement.

Williams moved to New York to study jazz at the Juilliard School of Music.

jockeys would not play a record over three minutes long. So Kapp asked if I could play the thirds a little faster. I did and it came in at two minutes and 59 seconds,” Williams said, according to Wilcox.

It was an instant hit and catapulted Williams to national renown. He followed it up with a string of hits including “Born Free,” ”The Impossible Dream,” ”Theme From Somewhere In Time,” and “Lara’s Theme from Dr. Zhivago.”

Williams became a popular guest on the top television shows of the time including “The Ed Sullivan Show,” ”The Perry Como Show,” and “The Steve Allen Show.”

In a 1995 interview with The Associated Press, Williams said he liked playing and listening to all types of music.

“The only thing I have against rock ‘n roll is the volume,” he said.

He is the first pianist to be honored with on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, where his star was decorated with flowers Saturday. He also received the Achievement Lifetime Award from Steinway & Sons.

On his 75th birthday, Williams played a 12-hour marathon at Steinway Hall in New York City, a stunt he repeated several time in the following years.

In March, Williams announced on his website that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. A few days later he played his last concert, in Palm Desert, Calif.

Williams is survived by his daughters, Laura Fisher and Alice Jung, and five grandchildren.

Funeral services are pending.

DEAR ABBY: I have always felt proud that I have never had any racist thoughts. Since the births of my three children, I have tried to instill in them that we are all God’s children, no matter the color of our skin.

The problem is, my husband is a racist. He doesn’t like anyone who isn’t just like him. He makes rude and crude remarks in front of our kids, and I’m always trying to discredit his remarks so the kids won’t end up with his bigoted way of thinking.

I have tried talking to my husband about it, but he doesn’t seem to get it.

How can I get through to him?

— UNBIASED IN IDAHO DEAR UNBIASED: You can’t. His racism isn’t rational. He learned it from the environment in which he was raised, as your children may if he continues.

In the time you knew your husband before you married him, I’m surprised that you didn’t notice his racist beliefs. If you are truly as unbiased as you say, it seems to me that a couple of uncensored remarks from him would have killed the romance.

However, please don’t give up the fight. Your children need to hear consistently that not all people feel as your husband does.

Advice shocked by it. She could have at least told me he’d be staying.

I want to talk to her about this, but I don’t know how. I want her to be happy, but Warren’s here all the time now. Isn’t it a little too soon? I miss my father. Mom hasn’t considered my feelings or asked how I feel about this. I realize it’s her house and she’s an adult, but I can’t help feeling disappointed and disrespected.

— STILL MOURNING IN PENNSYLVANIA STILL DEAR MOURNING: Talk to your mother as one adult to another. Tell her you were shocked when Warren spent the night, and that his being there “all the time” seems rushed so soon after your father’s death. Tell her, too, that you feel that hiding him from your siblings is a mistake.

Then hear her out. This isn’t about you. Your mother is an adult. She and Warren have some shared history, so it’s not as if he’s a complete stranger out of nowhere.

While I agree that she would be wise to take things more slowly, this isn’t our decision to make.

Sooner or later you may have to make some living arrangements of your own, so you can both move on with your lives. Start thinking about it now.

At the second table, declarer also played low from dummy on the heart lead, but when East produced the ten, South won with the king!

The second declarer realized that if West had the ace of diamonds and East the ace of clubs, the contract was in serious jeopardy. He reasoned that if he won the opening trick with the jack, West would almost surely shift to a club upon taking the ace of diamonds, since West would recognize that there was no future in continuing hearts.

Columnist gives updates on her life’s activities Cacophony is a wonderful word that I rarely can use but it best describes the sounds surrounding our porch during this season. All the little insects are humming, the crickets are calling and the cicadas are singing. RB told me I was missing the choir of tree frogs. I didn’t even know we had tree frogs until he instructed me on the differences of their voices. It must have been our conversation along with the recent column about frog gigging that absolutely overpowered him with a craving for frog legs. We know of only one area restaurant that has them on their menu — the Cajun restaurant just south of UVMC — and while we’d enjoyed their food before, we’d never tried the frog legs. I stuck with my favorite — a Po’ Boy sandwich with fried oysters. I always ask that they be well fried, I can’t tolerate a squishy oyster.

RB was served two large pairs of legs on a bed of french fries and for his side dish, he selected tomatoes with okra, something I never fix and didn’t realized he’d missed. We were both quite satisfied.

I want to update you with a few new occurrences so while I’m on a food topic, here’s more about that peach cream pie recipe in the column by the Amish Cook. A friend in Maryland who reads my comments

CAROLYN STEVENS Columnist emailed to ask for the recipe. She later wrote that she’d made it and taken it to a pie baking contest where it was awarded a prize — the judge called it “superb.” I told you!! The column about my child’s anatomy observations at the zoo reminded her of a trip to the grocery with her toddler son. She was in line with her cart when she happened to see some bananas she intended to get. Needing to step aside a few feet, she asked the man with the cart behind her if he’d keep an eye on it — specifically the twoyear-old who was sitting in it. As she moved back into line, the nice man asked little John David if he was happy to see his mother. In a sweet, clear voice, he shared a fact he found interesting. “She doesn’t have a penis.”

That bit of information was enjoyed by everyone within range of his chirpy announcement, except his mother.

In regard to my scooter, I continue to enjoy it. I did get to the Great Darke County Fair in Greenville and to the Art Barn, where I found

I’d received an award on one of my paintings. RB rented a scooter there and we two old folks wheeled around for nearly two hours. We took Earl with us on an earlier trip to deliver the paintings and he was overcome with all the new and exciting smells. (‘Aroma’ sounds better, but ‘smell’ is more accurate for most of what he discovered.) Plans to go to the Heritage Festival didn’t work for me, but I’ll be ready for next year.

There’s not room in the rear of my Geo Tracker for more that one scooter and one battery-operated lift, so RB will rent one there. I don’t think mine has enough power to pull him behind me in a wagon, but I’d pay cash for a picture of that.

I believe most folks who read the Piqua Daily Call are not likely to be searching for old ladies in alleys so I feel safe in telling you I’ve found a decent route from our house to High Street, taking only about 20 minutes. Some of that time involves traveling slowly across dangerous sidewalks to reach the alley. I’m concerned about tipping over on especially rough sections although RB told me it wouldn’t tip easily because it’s “bottom-heavy.”

I don’t know if he meant the scooter or me and I chose not to pursue it.

There are some fenced dogs who are interested in watching me but I’ve

never felt threatened.

After the tragic attack by the dogs on a Piqua woman in September, I began to consider the wisdom of my solo ventures. I’m pretty brave. I carry a cell phone but haven’t yet been able to use it successfully. Ideas for safety began rolling around in my head and from the lack of good sense, all I could think of was getting a gun. Now wouldn’t that be a great thing to do? My distance perception is flawed, I can’t see well enough to drive a car and I’d consider carrying a gun?

Dear God, where might I aim and what might I shoot? Who’d teach me and who’d ever give me a license to carry? I considered a stun gun, but I don’t know the legal aspects of that. The simple answer finally drifted in: Mace. RB got me the cutest little container that just fits in my hand, it’s pink, and there’s a safety feature to keep me from spraying myself in the face. All I need to consider is the direction of the wind is blowing, which is pretty important. If you see an old lady lying in an alley, it could be me, resting and recovering after spraymacing myself. Don’t worry, just wave and be on your way. And please phone RB to advise him of my location.

■ Grandparenting

Little reader Dear Grandparenting: My question concerns helping my grandson to read. Jack is barely two years old. I spend a lot of time caring for him. I usually have a book in my hand while he putters around or plays with toys. It occurred to me that perhaps I should “read” children’s books with my little Jack more often.

But I have heard that can turn small children into book haters by making them do something before they are really ready. On the other hand, I can report that Jack doesn’t mind our “reading,” if you can call it that. There are not many readers in my family and I’d love Jack to enjoy books as his grandmother does. What do you think?

Lisa Miller, Newburgh, N.Y.

TOM & DEE HARDIE KEY KIDDER Columnists Dear Lisa: Some wellmeaning child authorities may variously discourage attempts to “read” with toddlers, but we think that misses the point. To our way of thinking, reading with a grandparent and learning to read in school are very different activities that provide different benefits for grandchildren.

Taking a little reader into your lap with a

short, happy favored book is one of the major joys of grandparents. Babies love repetition: We know grandparents who will re-read the same book several hundred times, enchanted as their grandchild begins to mimic sounds and words, and perhaps begins to grasp concepts and content. It makes for a hands-on interaction of the highest order – the physical contact children crave, and quality time for grandparents.

Forcing grandchildren to read could teach them to hate reading, but grandparents who help grandchildren explore books and share in their excitement do a world of good for future development. Their little brains can’t keep up with yours, but your hearts will be in sync. Here’s to many happy books together.

GRAND REMARK OF THE WEEK Trissy from Piqua was supervising granddaughter Ashley’s bath. As Ashley began to stand in the bathtub, Trissy quickly commanded her to sit.

“That’s dangerous. You could slip and fall and hurt yourself,” said Trissy.

“But Grandma, you told me to get good and clean all over,” said Ashley. “I can’t wash when I sit when I’m sitting on what I’m supposed to wash!”

“OK, now I get it,” said Trissy.

Dee and Tom, married more than 50 years, have eight grandchildren. Together with Key, they welcome questions, suggestions and Grand Remarks of the Week.

Apple bread recipe just as good as cake We are enjoying beautiful fall weather.

Many, many leaves have fallen from our trees this past week, creating LOVINA EICHER such wonderful autumn The Amish Cook scenes everywhere.

Along with it we have been blessed with some nice, warm sunny weather.

Along with the scenery also comes some work in raking up the leaves. The younger children have been having fun making huge piles of leaves and hiding under them. On Friday, my husband Joe didn’t have any work at the factory so he tilled the garden, which means that is done for the year.

Sons Benjamin and Joseph also helped him haul manure to the garden and the fields.

Last week the girls and I washed all the curtains and windows on the main floor of our house. Since today is another nice laundry day we are going to wash all the curtains in the bedrooms upstairs.

While they are drying we plan to clean the windows up there. After all those cold wet days in September it makes us appreciate this October weather even more. We have been eating out on the front porch quite often this past week. A person can just sit out there and just take in all the splendid scenes that our Creator has created. Husband Joe has been doing a lot of grilling outside in the warm weather.

Daughter Verena has to have therapy twice a week now since her cast is off. She will get an ankle brace that she will wear inside her shoe to help her support her ankle. She is very worn out after an hour session in therapy. It has kept me busier than usual taking her twice a week but I am glad to see her getting help. We are very thankful that she is not having the post-concussions any more but she does get headaches quite often.

Communion services were held in our church district last week. There were three new babies in our church and all of them are neighbors to us. Two of the babies are a set of twins which brings them even more attention. It looks like the mother has her hands full with the twins, a 1 1 /2 year old son and a 5 1 /2 year old daughter. The twins are a boy, Lyndon and a girl, Lanette. Our church is having a diaper shower for them and lots of meals are being taken in. It is a big help to the family at such a time.

I did get my red beets and peppers canned last week. I have some butternut squash here that someone gave to us. I would like to cook them and make a puree to use for baking. It tastes very close to pumpkin.

Farmers are busy harvesting potatoes, beans, and corn. We would like to go pick up potatoes in some fields to have to store for winter use. The picker doesn’t get all the potatoes so the farmers let people go pick up what was missed. Since our potatoes didn’t do well we will be glad to get some.

Deer season for bow hunters has also opened.

Joe was undecided if he would hunt deer or not. He always hunts with a gun, though, and that season opens up later. It is too nice to be sitting out here writing, time to get started with the laundry Apple season, though, is still in full swing with lots of fresh cider on the menu and plenty of apples to be made into butter and breads. This is a delicious recipe for a homemade apple bread. Last week I shared apple cake, this recipe is just as a good!

APPLE BREAD 1 /2 cup of butter or shortening 2 eggs 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 /2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 1 /2 cups of finely grated apples 1 1 /4 cups sugar 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon salt 1 /4 teaspoon nutmeg Preheat oven to 350. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Sift together all dry ingredients and mix in. Fold in apples. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and bake 1 hour at 350.

Makes one loaf.

Southwest Ohio woman amasses 10,000-plus postcard MARIEMONT (AP) — Her Majesty, the Queen of Postcards, surveyed her subjects.

Dozens of postcards lounged atop a bedspread.

Thousands upon thousands more stood at attention in filing cabinets lining the spare bedroom of her Mariemont manor.

The queen’s holdings make up one of the area’s largest private accumulations. Rivaling the size of public collections, they offer lessons on the power of the postcard and the history of Cincinnati.

“Where is she?” asked the queen, aka Esther H.M. Power, as she looked through her cards.

“The H.M.,” she joked as she continued her search, “stands for ‘Her Majesty!”

With a laugh, she acted as if she were straightening a crown.

Bending over, she took a closer look at the post-

cards. Her hands flitted from stack to stack.

“Aha!” she cried out.

Her hands gently lifted a rare vintage postcard.

“This is my favorite,” she declared. “And would you know: That is Esther!”

She pointed to herself on the postcard as a 7year-old at a camp in the Adirondacks during the summer of 1932. She sits cross-legged on the ground with a group of school girls.

“I don’t sit like that anymore,” she said. Her 86year-old legs won’t bend that way anymore.

She looked at the card and then held it close to her heart. “This got me started with postcards.”

At first, she was struck by the stamps on the cards. Then, she noticed the scenes. As she grew older, she marveled at how much sentiment could fit in such small a space.

Holding the cards and reading their greetings, she talked about the thrill of getting a postcard.

These pieces of paper with a scene on one side and a few lines on the other come from someone far away who is thinking of you. She may be at a caf in Paris. He may be in a museum in Chicago. Either way, they have taken the time to dash off a note: “Greetings from … wish you were here.”

“And when you get that postcard,” Power said, “you look at the scene and feel like you are there in Paris or Chicago. And, that person is right next to you.”

Seven decades since she went to summer camp and thousands of postcards later, Her Majesty rules over an ever-growing realm. And yet, Power insists she is not a deltiologist, a collector of postcards.

“This is my accumulation room,” she said with a regal wave of her hand pointing to the filing cabinets.

“I am an accumulator, not a collector.”

She is a fibber. Her accumulation would be the envy of most collections.

She neatly files her postcards, alphabetizing them within subjects and preserving them in acidfree sleeves. They date from the turn of the century as the 19th became the 20th. They come in several languages. Some depict world history.

“Here’s one of the Titanic,” she said as she reached for one of her greatest hits. “The ship sank in April 1912. This postcard came out in August 1912 in France as a memorial to the tragedy.”

Thousands of her postcards show local scenes.

They trace Cincinnati’s

development from a river town ruled by steamboats to the town of today serviced by passenger jets and laced by interstates.

The postcards show the city at work and at play.

Every Cincinnati Reds ballpark appears in her accumulation.

She plucked one example at random from a filing cabinet.

The Palace of the Fans, the Reds’ home from 1902 to 1911, popped out in its full-color glory on a surface made to look and feel like linen. On the opposite side, a note, written May 16, 1910, reads: “Dear Daisy, Please tell your pa to send Gusie a load of hay just as soon as he can. Hope you are well.

Love, Your friend, Ella Sue.” Power, a historian, can’t say how many postcards she has accumulated since 1932.

“Oh my heavens, no,” the postcard queen replied when asked if she has conducted a recent census of her subjects.

She knows the number has passed the 10,000 mark. Thousands of those contain images of trains and boats and planes and even a horse the steed Ulysses S. Grant rode at the end of the Civil War named after Cincinnati.

The size of her accumulation compares favorably with public collections.

The Cincinnati Historical Society’s postcard holdings number 8,500-plus.

The Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County had 43,368 postcards the last time its collection was tallied in 2001.

Of that number, 15,917 postcards depict Greater Cincinnati scenes. The library’s holdings come from four separate sources.

■ Surviving Diabetes

Technological improvement in near future for diabetics

Electronic records goes live at UVMC FOR THE DAILY CALL TROY — When the Epic electronic medical record system went live at Upper Valley Medical Center (UVMC) on Oct. 1, it added another dimension to the focus on patient safety, enhancing quality and continuity of care across all of the Premier Health Partners (PHP) hospitals.

The Epic system provides technology that places a patient’s entire medical history on one electronic record. It currently is the top-ranked system of its kind, and is used among all of the PHP providers, which include Miami Valley and Good Samaritan hospitals in Dayton, Atrium Medical Center in Warren County, and UVMC. One patient-centered electronic medial record will promote improved communication at UVMC and throughout the PHP system.

With the implementation of Epic at the local hospital, all of UVMC’s Upper Valley Professional Corporation physician offices also have converted to the new system.

“Epic is patient focused; it enhances patient safety and quality and continuity of care,” Nancy Miller, RN/MS, UVMC Manager of Clinical Information Services, said of the new Epic electronic medical record system. “It provides seamless communication health care between providers.”

For example, if a patient who comes to the UVMC Emergency Department (ED) is taken for advanced cardiac treatment at Good Samaritan or Miami Valley, no paper record has to be sent, Miller said. Via computer, those caregivers will see what was done at the UVMC ED along with information from X-rays and lab work.

Becky Rice, MA/FACHE, UVMC vice president, said the Epic conversion has been a huge project for the UVMC and PHP team spanning over a two-year period. “The opportunity to make strides in patient safety, especially with bar coded medication administration, is significant,” she said.

“Healthcare delivery in the United States is on the

path to transformation through information and data for use in decision making. This represents transformational change involving innovative solutions, changes in daily workflow of all caregivers and members of the medical staff, extensive planning and training, investment in computers, fingerprint readers, bar code scanners, and even changes in how healthcare is delivered,” Rice said.

“This electronic medical record represents an information technology investment in our patients, our community and our future,” she added.

Miller described the electronic medical record as another supporting tool for those providing care, noting “It does not replace clinicians and all of the caring that we have done here for years.”

In the initial days of the system’s use, patients may notice it takes longer for the nurse to enter all vital information including their medications in the electronic system. Information on the transition to the new system has been posted throughout UVMC to help notify patients of what is taking place.

Once information on patient history, home meds and allergies has been entered in the new system, the information will be updated on subsequent visits.

The system will bring together information from the hospital and physician offices, eliminating the need to call or search for patient details.

Physicians also will be entering their orders into the system, eliminating problems with writing legibility. “The handwriting issues are gone,” Miller said.

“The system also will alert the doctor if you are allergic to something.”

Preparations for the transformation to the electronic record system began in May 2010 with system planning, education and practice ongoing for many months.

Despite the planning and practice, extra staffing has been on hand at UVMC during go live week. “Their care will continue even though it’s a go live and it is new to us,” Miller said.

Warmth for Winter Coat Campaign October 10 thru December 11 New and used coats, hats & gloves are being collected at the Miami Valley Centre Mall and both Piqua McDonald’s locations for distribution by The Salvation Army in Piqua. The collection barrels can be found at the mall near Finish Line, Maurices & Sears. Collection barrels at McDonald’s will be visible in the common area.

JENNIFER RUNYON Columnist diagnosis, you know that the promises of better technology and a cure have left me skeptical with an “I’ll believe it when I see it attitude.”

Well, I may actually see this one.

Of course, the LGS would have to go through clinical trials before hitting the market. That is one aspect the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation wants to change.

In the first draft research guidance document for the LGS released by the FDA, they wanted very large in-hospital clinical trials

as well as outpatient trials. JDRF is urging the FDA to allow for only outpatient trials helping to get the device to patients sooner.

Diabetics get blood work done every three months. Many of us are hooked up to monitors that show our glucose every five minutes. We can download and print the readings comparing days, weeks, even months, so I can see why hospital trials are unnecessary to prove if the LGS works or not. Plus, no one knows us like we do. If I’ve learned anything from interacting with other diabetics, it’s that we are very independent (even stubborn) when it comes to medical decisions. JDRF obviously realizes and sees the value in this. I think they put it very nicely.

“It is critical for FDA to understand that patients and their physi-

cians who face the difficult task of managing type 1 diabetes on a dayto-day basis will understand the potential benefits and risks associated with suspension of insulin delivery and are fully capable of making the decision whether the use of a LGS system is in their best interest.”

JDRF released a petition a few days ago that urges the FDA to put the document out on Dec. 1 as promised and not to be a road block in getting the device to those that could benefit so greatly from it. LGS devices are currently available in 40 other countries. This fact baffles me in the first place, but hopefully it won’t be too long until we’re included on that list.

Study: Dads less likely to die of heart problems Fatherhood may be a kick in the old testosterone, but it may also help keep a man alive.

New research suggests that dads are a little less likely to die of heart-related problems than childless men are.

The study by the AARP, the government and several universities is the largest ever on male fertility and mortality, involving nearly 138,000 men. Although a study like this can’t prove that fatherhood and mortality are related, there are plenty of reasons to think they might be, several heart disease experts said.

Marriage, having lots of friends and even having a dog can lower the chance of heart problems and cardiac-related deaths, previous research suggests.

Similarly, kids might help take care of you or give you a reason to take better care of yourself.

Also, it takes reasonably good genes to father a child. An inability to do so might mean a genetic weakness that can spell heart trouble down the road.

“There is emerging evidence that male infertility is a window into a man’s later health,” said Dr. Michael Eisenberg, a Stanford University urologist and fertility specialist who led the study. “Maybe it’s telling us that something else is involved in their inability to have kids.”

The study was pub-

lished online Monday by the journal Human Reproduction.

Last week, a study by other researchers of 600 men in the Philippines found that testosterone, the main male hormone, drops after a man becomes a dad. Men who started out with higher levels of it were more likely to become fathers, suggesting that low levels might reflect an underlying health issue that prevents reproduction, Eisenberg said.

In general, higher levels of testosterone are better, but too much or too little can cause HDL, or “good cholesterol,” to fall a key heart disease risk factor, said Dr. Robert Eckel, past president of the American Heart Association and professor of medicine at the University of Colorado, Denver.

“This is a hot topic,” Eckel said. “I like this study because I have five children,” he joked, but he said many factors such as job stress affect heart risks and the decision to have children.

Researchers admit they couldn’t measure factors like stress, but they said they did their best to account for the ones they could. They started with more than 500,000 AARP members age 50 and over who filled out periodic surveys starting in the 1990s for a long-running research project sponsored by the National Cancer Institute.

For this study, researchers excluded men who had never been married so they could focus on those most likely to have the intent and opportunity to father a child. Men with cancer or heart disease also were excluded to compare just men who were healthy when the study began.

Of the remaining 137,903 men, 92 percent were fathers and half had three or more children.

After an average of 10 years of follow-up, about 10 percent had died. Researchers calculated death rates according to the number of children, and adjusted for differences in smoking, weight, age, household income and other factors.

They saw no difference in death rates between childless men and fathers.

However, dads were 17 percent less likely to have died of cardiovascular causes than childless men were.

Now for all the caveats.

Researchers don’t know how many men were childless by choice and not because of a fertility problem.

They don’t know what fertility problems the men’s partners may have had that could have left them childless.

They didn’t have choles-

terol or blood pressure information on the men key heart risk factors.

Less than 5 percent of participants were blacks or other minorities, so the results may not apply to them.

All those questions aside, however, some prominent heart experts were reassured by the study’s large size and the steps researchers took to adjust for heart disease risk factors.

“I think there’s something there,” and social science supports the idea that children can lower heart risks, said Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist and genetics expert at Scripps Health in La Jolla, Calif. “Whether it’s with a pet, a spouse or social interaction … all those things are associated with better outcomes.”

Dr. Daniel Rader, director of preventive cardiology at the University of Pennsylvania, said: “It’s biologically plausible that there’s a connection,” but the reduced risk attributed to having children “is pretty modest.”

Men often ask him what they can do to keep from dying of a heart attack, he said.

“I’m not really prepared to, on the basis of this, tell them to start having a few kids,” Rader said.

I have talked about the artificial pancreas before, and it looks like some progress it finally visible. Yay! The first part of an artificial pancreas will be a low glucose suspend system (LGS). This system would take a reading from a continuous glucose monitoring sensor, such as the DexCom that I wear, and if the reading is below a certain number, the pump would stop delivering insulin preventing severe low episodes.

On Dec. 1, the Food and Drug Administration is supposed to release a draft research guidance document for the LGS. Dec. 1 — less than two months away.

Sheriff’s cruiser hits deer; drivers warned Fall when most deer-vehicle crashes occur

BY MELANIE YINGST Ohio Community Media myingst@tdnpublishing.com MIAMI COUNTY — One Miami County Sheriff’s Office official currently is investigating a hit-andrun accident involving a sheriff’s cruiser Monday night.

Official suspect description: Four-legs, big brown eyes, light brown skin and a white-tail — oh deer.

Miami County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Mike Marion recorded Miami County’s first deer accident of the 2011 fall season late Monday night while westbound on Eldean Road. A deer ran out in front of the sheriff’s cruiser, causing several thousands of dollars worth of damage to the 2010 Ford Crown Victoria cruiser.

Marion, the department’s auto crash reconstruction official, was not injured.

“This is the deer’s active mating season. We see a large number of strikes during harvest season, especially now that farmers are clearing the fields,” said Chief Deputy Dave Duchak Tuesday. “People need to be alert and cautious and remember when there’s one deer, there are usually more close by.”

Miami County reported 329 deer-vehicle accidents in 2010.

According to reports from the Ohio Department of Public Safety, peak hours for deer-related crashes were 5 p.m. to 1 a.m., followed by 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. In 2010, almost 55 percent of these crashes occurred between 5 p.m. and 1 a.m.

The Ohio Division of Wildlife estimates the Ohio deer herd at 750,000.

Deer-vehicle collisions are supposed to be reported to a law enforcement agency, such as the Ohio Highway Patrol, or a state wildlife officer within 24 hours.

If you happen to strike and kill the deer, you may take possession of the animal if you desire. The driver must first obtain a deer possession receipt, which is available from law enforcement or state wildlife officers, and from Division of Wildlife district offices.

Five seasonal reminders for deer season, according to caraccidentadvice.com: 1. Pay Attention to deer crossing signs: A surprising number of drivers ignore these signs, which indicate areas where deer are especially likely to be found near or in the road. When you see a deer crossing sign, reduce your speed a little and make sure you are using your high beams at night. Your high beams will allow you to see deer standing near

the roadway thus increasing your chances of avoiding car accidents due to deer.

2. Keep a close lookout for deer around dawn and dusk: Dawn and dusk are the two times of day when deer are most likely to wander into the road. Deer are also hardest to spot during these times.

If you are traveling through an area with a large deer or elk population, keep your speed down and your headlights on around these times of day.

3. Know the danger season: Late fall is the season with the highest numbers of car accidents due to deer. Statistically, November is the riskiest month.

4. If you see one deer, look for more: Deer often travel together, so if you see one deer in or near the road, assume that there are more close by and adjust your speed accordingly.

5. Don’t depend on deer whistles or other such devices: Research has shown these gadgets to be ineffective. In fact, they may actually be dangerous if they give you a false sense of security.

Car accidents due to deer are always a real possibility when you are driving. Knowing the riskiest times of the day and of the year and by taking a few safety precautions, you can considerably reduce chances of hitting a deer.

Death plot sanctions or penalties against Iran. Clinton said she and President Barack Obama called world leaders to tell them of the developments.

“This really, in the minds of many diplomats and government officials, crosses a line that Iran needs to be held to account for,” Clinton said. She said she and Obama want to “enlist more countries in working together against what is becoming a clearer and clearer threat” from Iran.

The U.S. criminal complaint said the Iranian plotters hired a would-be assassin in Mexico who was a paid informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and told U.S. authorities all about their plot, which they codenamed “Chevrolet.”

FBI Director Robert Mueller said many lives could have been lost. But Preet Bharara, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said no explosives were actually placed and no one was in any danger because of the informant’s cooperation with authorities.

Attorney General Eric Holder, appearing at a news conference with Mueller and Bharara, declared, “The United States is committed to holding Iran responsible for its actions.”

Shortly afterward, the Treasury Department announced economic penal-

ties against Arbabsiar and four Quds Force officers it says were involved.

Asked whether the plot was blessed by the very top echelons of the Iranian government, Holder said the Justice Department was not making that accusation. But he said the conspiracy was conceived, sponsored and directed from Tehran. The U.S. describes the Quds Force as Iran’s primary foreign action arm for supporting terrorists and extremists around the world.

The White House said Obama told al-Jubeir in a phone call that the foiled plot to assassinate him is a “flagrant” violation of U.S. and international law.

Obama also told al-Jubeir he is committed to ensuring the security of diplomats in the United States, the White House said, and

met with his national security team to thank them for disrupting the plot.

The alleged target was Al-Jubeir, a commoner educated at University of North Texas and Georgetown who was foreign affairs adviser to Saudi King Abdullah when he was crown prince. A month after the 2001 attacks, in which 15 of the 19 Arab hijackers were from Saudi Arabia, Abdullah sent alJubeir to the United States to rebuild Saudi Arabia’s image in the United States. He was appointed ambassador in 2007.

Manssor Arbabsiar, a 56-year-old U.S. citizen who also holds an Iranian passport, was charged along with Gholam Shakuri, who authorities said was a Quds Force member and is still at large in Iran.

Exploration of African music kicks off Edison Lecture Series PIQUA — Edison Community College will be hosting the first in a series of public lecture series at 7 p.m. Thursday in room 456 at the Piqua campus. The lecture, “Africana and Beyond!

Musical Exoticism in the U.S.” will be an examination of how exotic sights and sounds are used in U.S. popular culture to articulate and explore values that are taboo or mysterious.

Edison music instructor Jeffrey Jones will be analyzing the Chaino phenomenon, a cult following of a series of 1950s-era Africana albums that have been re-released on several occasions over the past few years. The lecture will examine the recordings, liner notes, album art and more from the time period.

“As a group, we will explore other exotic sights and sounds that have

been used in U.S. popular culture, exploring what the use of these materials tells us about contemporary American life,” said Jones.

The lecture series will be offered in four installments, two in the fall and two in the spring, each lasting an hour or less.

The sessions are open to all and everyone is encouraged to attend and participate. Topics will range from local to global matters focusing on everything from nutrition to exotic forms of music to the impact that pesticides have on our region’s ground water.

HOROSCOPE Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2011 Conditions aren’t likely to be too dull for you in the next year, when it comes to your career. All kinds of exciting and unexpected happenings could be in the offing, and how you respond to events could either make or break you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t place too much hope on verbal commitments from others regarding their willingness to help. When you need them the most, they could be dedicating their support elsewhere.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Control your powers of concentration by keeping your mind only on the task at hand. If you happen to make a mistake, you should be able to catch it immediately and fix it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Something you’ve neglected for far too long might hamper your freedom of mobility. What you’ve been sweeping under the rug could suddenly create a veritable storm of dust bunnies.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Indecisiveness is an attitude that can easily be corrected. However, if you continue to persist being wishywashy, your friends might not want to deal with you anymore.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Guard against continually attempting to do things that are way beyond your mental or physical capabilities.

Face up to your shortcomings and seek help when needed.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Be budget-minded, because if you aren’t, funds you’ve earmarked for necessities shan’t be there for you down the line, when you need them to pay the bills. Think ahead.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Be extremely selective concerning with whom you spend your leisure time so that the wrong types don’t ruin your fun. You need to laugh a bit to refurbish your soul.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Certain people tend to be somewhat caustic and/or critical, but you don’t have to respond in kind. Set a good example by being extremely tolerant when dealing with everybody.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — If you want special items that you own to enjoy long lives, pay attention to your care in handling them. Breakage is a product of carelessness.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — When negotiating something of significance, make certain all parties involved understand the small points as well as the main issues in the agreement, so no one later can claim ignorance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Methodically plot your course of action before you jump into the fray, or you could end up being the victim of your own handiwork. Look ahead and program each and every step you take.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — If you let your friends look upon you as their rock of Gibraltar today, they’re likely to bring more trouble into your life than you care to handle. Put limitations on your availability.

W a r e h o u s e / Scanning

Whether posting or responding to an advertisement, watch out for offers to pay more than the advertised price for the item. Scammers will send a check and ask the seller to wire the excess through Western Union (possibly for courier fees).

The scammer's check is fake and eventually bounces and the seller loses the wired amount.

While banks and Western Union branches are trained at spotting fake checks, these types of scams are growing increasingly sophisticated and fake checks often aren't caught for weeks.

Funds wired through Western Union or MoneyGram are irretrievable and virtually untraceable.

CAREGIVER NEEDED for elderly couple. Prefer live-in; not mandatory.

References and background check required.

Piqua spikers lose marathon Lebanon pulls out five-game win over Lady Indians

BY ROB KISER Call Sports Editor rkiser@dailycall.com LEBANON — For three plus games, Piqua seemed on its way to a second win over Lebanon Tuesday night in the GWOC semifinals But, the second-seeded Warriors were able to rally for a win over the fourth seed Lady Indians 25-19, 20-25, 19-25, 25-17, 15-9.

Piqua will host Fairmont on Thursday at the Piqua Junior High in the third-place match.

“Things just kind of fell apart for us there in the last two games,” Piqua coach Chris Davis said.

“We had too many hitting errors. You combine that with the fact Lebanon plays ridiculous defense.

They get some amazing touches on it.”

But, after dropping the first game, it was Piqua who had the Warriors rattled in the second and third games.

Tasha Potts spiked one to give Piqua a 22-19 lead in the second game.

With Sarah Palmer serving, a double-hit and kill by Makayla Carnes made it 24-19 and a thunderous kill by Brooke Reinke finished things.

In the third game, things swung on Taylor Bachman’s serve.

Her six-point run, in-

VOGLER

cluding two aces and a kill

by Jasmine Davis, turned an 11-7 deficit into a 14-11 lead and Piqua never trailed again.

Lebanon pulled even at 20, before Hayley Monroe pounded a kill for a sideout.

A kill by Davis made it 23-20.

Vogler had a kill at 2322 and Reinke finished it at 24-23 with another clutch kill.

“I think the first game was a warmup, just for us to get our feet under us,” Davis said. “We played better in the second and third games.

“Our serve receive was better, although it was still a roller coaster. There were more lows than highs with our serve receive.”

Piqua jumped out to a 3-1 lead in fourth game and was still ahead 12-11, before Lebanon outscored them 14-5 to force a fifth game.

The Warriors momentum continued in the deciding game.

They jumped to a 6-0 lead and Piqua never really recovered.

“We were making mistakes,” Davis said. “We just never really clicked.

And they were hitting bullets and playing great defense.”

Once again, Reinke and Vogler were a potent 1-2 combo for Piqua, 16-5.

Reinke had 15 kills and 18 digs, while Vogler had 14 kills and 19 digs.

Davis had 33 assists and 16 digs, while Bachman had 20 digs and three aces.

Monroe had two assists, two blocks and three digs, while Carnes had four blocks, three kills and two digs..

Abby Berger had six digs and Macy Yount had three digs.

“Seniors Zane Smith and Ryan Werling helped us maintain possession and help propel the offensive attack.

“Senior Jake Miller and junior Ross Snodgrass were clicking offensively with some great shots on goal."

Raterman named to Wooden list UD senior picks up prestigious pre-season honor LOS ANGELES – University of Dayton senior Justine Raterman was named to the Los Angeles Athletic Club Women’s Preseason Top 30 list for the John R. Wooden Award.

The list is comprised of 30 student-athletes who, based on last year’s individual performance and team records, are the early frontrunners for college basketball’s most prestigious honor. The list is chosen by a preseason poll of national college women’s basketball media members.

“This is a great honor for Justine and the University of Dayton women’s basketball program,” said UD Head Coach Jim Jabir. “I think it says a lot about our program and how far we’ve come. Justine would be the first to tell you she couldn’t have achieved this by herself.

“She has worked so hard to overcome a tough injury,” he added. “This recognition demonstrates how she has represented

herself and the University in a high level that last three years.”

Raterman is the only representative from the Atlantic 10 — and she is the first Dayton player — to be named to the Women’s Wooden Award watch list.

The 6-foot-1 senior has averaged 14.0 points and 7.2 rebounds per game over her three seasons at Dayton.

The two-time captain has led the Flyers in scoring all three years and in that time she is responsible for 19.9 percent of UD’s scoring.

She was a First Team All-Atlantic 10 selection as a junior and has been named to the A-10 AllChampionship team for three consecutive tournaments.

She has helped the Flyers to three consecutive postseason appearances, including two straight NCAA at-large berths.

During her career the FlyERIK SCHELKUN/CALL FILE PHOTO ers have also won 20+ Justine Raterman has to the pre-season list for the John R. Wooden Award. games in each season.

GIRLS SOCCER East wins 3-0 CASSTOWN — Taylor Mitchell executed her first career hat trick to lead the Vikings to a 3-0 win over Springfield Shawnee.

Mitchell's first goal came just 3:31 into the game.

Katrina Sutherly blocked a clear by a Shawnee defender.

The ball bounced kindly to a wide open Chelsea Sherman.

Sherman then laid the ball off into the 18 and Mitchell beat the goalie to it and placed it into the far netting.

The second goal came with 5:19 until the break.

Montana Hahn passed one in from the corner to Lindsey Roeth at the endline.

Roeth drew the keeper's attention to near post, which left a wide open net for Mitchell when Roeth sent it across the goal mouth.

Mitchell's final goal came with 3:02 left until the break.

Kendra Beckman shot one from 20 yards out that the keeper was not able to get a handle on. Mitchell was there for the rebound and walked the ball in.

"Mitch (Taylor Mitchell) had a great game tonight,” Miami East coach Emalie Carson said. “ It was nice to see her putting so much pressure on the goal and have that work pay off.

“Overall, we played with a lot of energy tonight.

“We haven't had a home

MITCHELL RINDLER game since Sept 3, so everyone was excited about that. " This was the 10th shutout for the Vikings on the season.

Kelly Rindler recorded five saves in the goal.

"Defensively, it was a great effort. Shawnee has a high-powered offense, they've had 70 goals so far this year.

“So to shut them out, I was definitely pleased with that."

East is now 10-2-2.

They will host National Trail, the final game of league play on Thursday, when they celebrate senior night.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Two innings after Nelson Cruz crumbled to the ground writhing in pain, the slugger provided a grand finish for the Texas Rangers.

Cruz hit the first gameending grand slam in postseason history, sending the defending AL champions to Detroit with a 2-0 lead in the American League championship series after a 7-3 victory over the Tigers in 11 innings Monday.

"That's the guy you want to see right now," Elvis Andrus said. "He's getting hot again. That's what we're looking for."

The high drive to left off Ryan Perry was the second homer of the game for Cruz, and his third in the ALCS after struggling so badly in the first round of the playoffs (1 for 15 with only a single against Tampa Bay).

He now has the Rangers on Cruz control in the ALCS. They are two wins away from their second consecutive World Series after having never won a postseason series before last year.

"When Nellie gets going like he's going, he's tough to beat," Ian Kinsler said.

"Hopefully he can continue that and carry us."

Game 3 is Tuesday night in Detroit. Colby Lewis, 4-0 in five career postseason starts, pitches for Texas against Doug Fister.

Lewis was on a flight ahead of the team, and was probably already in Detroit before the 4-hour, marathon 25-minute ended in Texas. Fister flew home with the rest of the Tigers.

Cruz doubled early and chased Tigers starter Max Scherzer with a tying home run in the seventh.

Then he was hit near the right wrist by a Jose Valverde fastball in the ninth, when the Rangers blew a bases-loaded chance — same as Detroit had done in the top half of the inning.

"When I got hit, I thought it was worse," Cruz said. "In that situation, you want to stay in the game. Thank God I got a chance to win the game."

Manager Ron Washington said Cruz "was a little scared" because the area where he got hit was already black and blue.

"But after the doctor checked him and told him he was fine, then Nelson got up," Washington said.

"We certainly needed everything he gave us tonight. He tied the ballgame, and he won it."

Michael Young, the Rangers' career hits leader, snapped an 0-for15 postseason slide when he led off the 11th with a single off Perry, the fifth Detroit pitcher. Adrian Beltre and Mike Napoli followed with singles, the latter on a liner to rightcenter that looked as though it would be caught.

Instead, right fielder Andy Dirks let the ball glance off his glove as center fielder Austin Jackson ran behind him.

"It was one of those balls that's a little between us, should have been caught," Dirks said, adding there was no miscommunication between

■ NLCS

Pujols has monster night Cardinals pound Milwaukee 12-3 counting on that.

"It's a pretty evenly matched series," Cardinals slugger Lance Berkman said. "I would imagine that this thing is a long way from being over."

It was a temporary setback for the Brewers, who remain confident despite some cracks developing in their starting pitching beyond Gallardo and Zack Greinke.

"Sometimes, you're going to get spanked a little bit," center fielder Nyjer Morgan said.

Pujols certainly spanked the Brewers' pitching in Game 2 — over and over and over. The three-time MVP went 4 for 5 with a home run, three doubles and five RBIs. His big hits came one night after Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder bashed the Brewers to a 9-6, come-frombehind victory in Game 1.

This time, the big bats couldn't bring Milwaukee back — even at Miller Park.

ALCS Continued from page 14 him and Jackson.

The ball dropped for a single that loaded the bases. That brought up Cruz, who also homered in Texas' 3-2 win in the series opener.

Just before his gameending blast, Cruz fouled a ball deep into the stands near the pole. He stood briefly and watched when he connected again before a trip around the bases that ended with him getting mobbed at the plate by the Rangers.

"It was amazing," said Cruz, who is 4 for 7 with three homers, a double and six RBIs in the ALCS. "First two pitches, I was too aggressive. I hit the ball — foul ball, foul ball.

So after that, I told myself just slow down and try to hit a fly ball to the outfield."

STATS LLC said Cruz's slam was the first to end a postseason game — with a postscript. Robin Ventura sent a bases-loaded drive over the fence to finish a New York Mets victory against Atlanta in the 1999 NLCS, but was swarmed by teammates between first and second.

Ventura never made it around the bases and was officially credited with an RBI single.

His 15th-inning drive for a 4-3 Mets win in Game 5 came to be known as "the grand slam-single."

Instead of the scheduled travel day Monday, the Tigers and Rangers played Game 2, which was

postponed Sunday because of a forecast that called for more rain that never came a night after the twice-delayed series opener.

Detroit left 13 runners on base, including five in the first two innings, and is now in an 0-2 hole that only three teams have overcome since the league championship series became a best-of-seven in 1985.

"It's just been two close games and could have gone either way," said cleanup hitter Victor Martinez, who is 0 for 7 in the series. "Unfortunately, we end up on the losing side, but ... we're going home.

We've been doing it the whole season: turn the page, come back tomorrow and keep on going."

Mike Adams, the sixth Texas pitcher, got the win with a pair of strikeouts in a scoreless 11th inning.

Scherzer bounced off the mound pumping his fist and glove after getting out of a two-on, none-out jam in the sixth with a 3-2 lead. There was a conversation with Leyland after he got to the dugout, and the right-hander went back out for the seventh.

That was one batter too long because Cruz led off the inning by pulling a ball down the left-field line that ricocheted high off the pole.

"If he got Cruz out, I was going to let him keep going," Leyland said. "I thought he was throwing great.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Two weeks of NBA games are lost. Many more could be in jeopardy.

There's a "gulf" that separates owners and players, and they will have to close it quickly to avoid further damage to the schedule.

Sticking to his deadline, Commissioner David Stern wiped out the first two weeks of the season — exactly 100 games — after more than seven hours of negotiations Monday failed to produce a new labor deal and preserve the Nov. 1 season openers.

The cancellations mark the NBA's first work stoppage since the 1998-99 season was reduced to 50 games.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Thanks to Albert Pujols' monster night, the St. Louis Cardinals have done exactly what they set out to do in the NL championship series: Erase the Milwaukee Brewers' home-field advantage.

After a 12-3 victory over the Brewers in Monday night's Game 2, the Cardinals are headed home tied in the series with ace Chris Carpenter taking the mound in Game 3. Things are looking a lot brighter than they did after blowing a big lead in the first game of the series.

"If you want to make it a competitive series, winning a game here, that's a big step in the right direction," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said.

Carpenter faces Brewers ace Yovani Gallardo on Wednesday night.

Sweep three games at home and the Cardinals move on to the World Series — but in a matchup of two intense NL Central rivals who have played each other evenly all season, nobody's
